what the hell kind of pricing are you guys paying? Lazada also sells stuff far more expensive than normal, the new nvidia GPUs cost 30-50% more on lazada than RRP and theres no reason we must charge more than RRP, i mean we are a developing nation with lower cost of living and lower taxes right? Why are we paying more than what US is paying?

The AC5300 is old, not even the awesome GT-AC5300 that asus has which is newer and better. They even have a business router pretty much like it too. For below rm 1000 for a AC5300 is less than ok but the AC86U should be much cheaper.

Check again in the faq, imported set and self warranty by seller

Erm, I think you should check the pricing for whole market on local units by asus my. The Nvidia case, that you'll have to ask the seller, iinm ran by bri**ts**r. Don't want to derail this thread, but sadly that's just how it is on most electronics.

Yes it has been a few years. But I think they are not going to linger in the 802.11ac for long and continue developing new high end products, since 802.11ax is introduced. If you're referring to the BRT-868, imho they are quite different. Just my 2cents.

got local set leh
last time i saw
their review also got ppl show MY UNIT


lol now pencen thinking wanna change mouse or not

Hi neekun,

The current SRP price for the RT-AC88U is RM1719. The price going to change soon because of SST.

Thank you

Hi chocobo7779,

Thank you for the feedback, will change it soon after I got the new image.

Thank you

Hi stinky,

Been using RT-AC86U for few days now, seen like it is okay for me. Make sure you put it on open area.

Thank you

Good to know

thank you

How about SRP for TP-LINK C5400X?

Bro, why are you asking SRP for TP-Link from Asus rep?

The Asus rep won’t know about TP-Link SRP lol. See here for the price: https://shopee.com.my/TP-LINK-C5400X-Wirele...0984.1433949296

Sad sad... Lyra only supports up to 300mbps...

Omg haha paiseh. I now feels like getting this instead of Acer hehe.

Get Lyra Trio. It supports up to 500Mbps.

It is honestly overkill. You would be happy with the TP-Link Archer C3150.

Hehe will consider thanks.

Baru invest on Lyra, not feasible to upgrade to Trio for the time being...

Hi,
I'd like to enquire on how to maximize my speed to achieve the possible 800Mbps speed, wirelessly.

I'm using an Asus RT-AC88U and I placed it on the 2nd floor of my house, while my PC is on the 3rd floor. I'm trying to avoid using net cable from 2nd floor to 3rd floor because it will be messy.

Thinking of purchasing the Asus EA-AC87 (which will be placed on the 3rd floor), but I'm confused between the Bridge mode & The Access Point mode. If I were to use EA-AC87,
which mode would bring me closer to the 800Mpbs?

1). Bridge mode as in connect the EA-AC87 to RT-AC88U wirelessly, then connect EA-AC87 to my PC via Wireless USB adapter capable of theoretical >1Gbps?

2). Same as 1), except I connect from my PC to the EA-AC87 using Wired cable

3). Access Point mode, where I have to a pull-cable from my router to my EA-AC87 (connected via LAN port), then either connect through wired or wireless to my PC?

Thanks

Forget about getting the full 800Mbps on wireless, if your device does not support it, even you have a good router or AP. You need a device that can support 4x4 MIMO and the devices that support it is very limited. For the best result, you can go for No. 3. Read my signature for more info.

Yup I read it. Thanks for the input! Makes sense now.

I guess the only 4x4 MIMO is the PCE-AC88 Adapter (PCIe Wireless Adapter). Maybe I should get that Adapter first.
If it's not sufficient enough, then only I should consider the Wireless AP.

Yep, and make sure your router is capable of 4x4 MIMO too. If it is, then you will get the best speed possible.
